Previewing Jailbait

Longtime readers to the 9th Green may remember my interview with John Lehr where we discussed his involvement with I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! (click to rewatch it). And what would you know, about a month after we talked about it, NBC resurrected the show to worse results probably because they did not bring Lehr back into the fold. Lehr is currently the creator, writer, executive producer and starring in Jailbait which you can watch over at Crackle.

Jailbait is a ten episode that follows Lehr through his nineteen month stay in correctional facility thanks to a drug charge. The self described people person gives the audience a blow by blow account about everything from his first day (a full body cavity search) to his last (a farewell party thrown by his buddies on the inside), to everything in-between (like his attempt to join a gang) and even give helpful hints if you ever find yourself in prison oranges (like how to get extradited from your cell to get away from your angry roommate).

Joining Lehr instead the big house include his 10 Items or Less co-stars Bob Clendenin as his closest friend behind bars and Kirk Ward as one of the prison guards. And Sandra Vergara (Sofia’s more intelligible younger sister) shows up as Lehr’s pen pail with a little extra baggage. Jailbait is short form comedy at its best, in and out quick with plenty of laughs in-between. Each episode runs around five minutes each and they are all currently available over at Crackle. Watch them in small breaks or knock them out all at once in under an hour, you will laugh more than most hour long comedy blocks currently on network television.
